Mágica, vívida y extremadamente creativa. Las descripciones de los paisajes y las emociones de les protagonistas me llegaron al alma. También el hecho de que ambes sean no binaries y usen los pronombres elle. También tiene representación de TDAH y dislexia según las vivencias de le autore. Una lectura maravillosa para aprender a aceptarnos en todas nuestras facetas y aspectos. Ojalá muches niñes queer, neurodivergentes y/o racializades lo encuentren cuando más lo necesiten y se sientan reconfortades y escuchades.

This book is both a sweet teen love story and revolutionary. There are some things that didn't work for me with the story telling style, but I'm still giving it 5 stars. This book is a gift to queer, trans, non-binary, neurodivergent, Latine young people (and adults), and to everyone who wants to see a world where people with those identities are cherished. Cheers to any book where queer kids have supportive families, we need that modeled while we work to have more of that in reality.

audiobook. not particularly subtle with the analogies & what it was trying to say but it was very sweet. the explicit descriptions of lived experiences could be either really well done or kind of heavy handed but it was good, like nice to explore these identities and experiences in this story.
